the Premier League title sorted the big focus for the final third of the season is on the relegation fight.

And with six points separating the bottom eleven clubs it promises to be the most intriguing one yet.

The teams who might find it hardest to survive are the three newly-promoted ones. Newcastle, Huddersfie­ld and Brighton had decent starts but as the season has drawn on, their thin squads have become stretched and tired. As experience­d managerial heads are brought in to help establishe­d clubs avoid the drop, the chances are the trio will slip further down the table.

None are currently in the relegation places but I would bet on two of them going straight back down.
